<div>I am Naveed Bhatti, from Scotland and I am helping raise money for my friend Asem Haitham and his family as they struggle to feed themselves each day. I am in daily contact with Asem. Please read their story and donate if you can. Thank you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is the reality of Gaza.
</div>
<div>In just one second, your beautiful, warm home is reduced to scattered rubble. In that same instant, a human body is torn into small pieces, gathered into a used plastic bag, photographed, and ,if lucky ,buried in a known location within the Gaza Strip.
</div>
<div>The smell of death fills the air. Children’s screams echo everywhere. Pain, fear, hunger, and the loss of loved ones have become the daily routine for Gaza’s residents.
</div>
<div>Every path to survival narrows day by day. Every meaning of life has been extinguished, leaving only a faint glimmer of hope.
</div>
<div>Ten months of continuous suffering: fleeing death, displacement, pain, injustice, and anger.
</div>
<div>How can you forget about us all??!!!!
</div>
<div>We have lost our homes, our loved ones, and our sources of dignified living. We have lost the joy and beautiful colors of life.
</div>
<div>Now, all we see are shades of gray, black, and the fiery colors of explosions.
</div>
<div>Save us from this brutal, criminal enemy. Save us in any way you can.
</div>
<div>We are human beings just like you, and we deserve to live.
</div>
<div>We cherish life when it exists.
</div>
<div>These words were sent to me by the family of my friend Asem in Gaza.
</div>
<div>My name is Naveed, and I live in Scotland. Due to my location and the restrictions imposed by GoFundMe, I have stepped forward to launch this campaign on behalf of my friend’s family living in Gaza.
</div>
<div>All donations will go directly to the family of my friend Asem.
</div>
<div>Here is their story since the beginning of the war in October:
</div>
<div>I (Asem) am writing to you after more than 500 days of horror, hunger, and constant fear.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My family ,my father, mother, grandmother, brother, and two sisters , left our home in Beach Refugee Camp / Gaza City on the first Friday of this devastating war.
</div>
<div>We could barely take a few clothes and some essential personal belongings.
</div>
<div>We had to leave suddenly after the Israeli army ordered all Gaza City residents to evacuate to the southern part of the Gaza Strip (south of Wadi Gaza).
</div>
<div>We complied and headed to Khan Younis in search of safety. We spent the night in a metal caravan at a construction site where my father manages a project.
</div>
<div>It was a terrifying night. We all slept on the floor of the caravan, and my father, finding no space inside, had to sleep in the car.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The following morning, a kind-hearted neighbor at the site convinced my father to bring us into his home, where we stayed for nearly 40 days.
</div>
<div>Later, we , along with the generous neighbor , were ordered to evacuate the area.
</div>
<div>My father drove aimlessly until the car finally stopped at Al-Aqsa University in western Khan Younis.
</div>
<div>We spent our first night sleeping on the ground near the university entrance and remained there for 25 days.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sensing the danger of advancing troops, my father , the true hero of our family , decided to move us once again, this time to Rafah City near the Egyptian border.
</div>
<div>On May 7, 2024, we received evacuation messages and pre-recorded phone calls instructing us to leave Rafah and move to what they called the “Humanitarian Zone.”
</div>
<div>Within just two hours, we packed up and headed to Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, where we have been ever since.
</div>
<div>This is just a small glimpse into what we have endured since leaving our beloved home.
</div>
<div>More than 500 days and nights have passed without a single peaceful night.
</div>
<div>My parents, grandmother, and sisters are elderly and cannot endure this ongoing fear and terror. I can no longer bear to see them suffer endlessly.
</div>
<div>I need your help to support my devastated family in these harsh and unbearable conditions.
</div>
<div>Everything is lacking: food, water, and safety. And when anything becomes available, it is outrageously expensive.
</div>
<div>We have no choice but to buy whatever food we can find because no human being can survive without it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am speaking to hearts that are still full of humanity , hearts I believe still exist.
</div>
<div>Please, help us keep hope alive in the hearts and souls of my family, so that we can live together safely and I can continue my education in Media and Mass Communication.
</div>
<div>I look forward to your generous support so that we can live a dignified life filled with peace, unity, and happiness , just like every human being deserves.
</div>
